I am totaly disappointed with the way the Show Revenge is doing right now! You started out okay but now you are showing nothing but former episodes. How about continuing on with whats happening now? I don't appreciate watching past episodes. I don't know if I will watch Revenge anymore. I was hooked on this show and I couldn't wait for the next episode. However I enjoy your show "once upon a time". I hope you don't change it like you did with Revenge.

OK Soaps gone. Gee why? No cussing, no nudity, no yelling and screaming at each other for the whole hour. ABC you are so disappointing. Wife swap... How sick. Cooking shows where everyone over talks everyone... Same with the View... who can tell who says what? Give me a good interesting storyline in a soap... Reality shows... that's a laugh... ignorant, tiring, and if everyone lived their lives like that who needs it. Get back to Real life...

A new show entitled 'Good Christian Bitches"? Have you gone totally mad? Anyone connected with this monstrocity should be fired. Are you listening Anne Sweeney, CEO of ABC Television?

I am very disappointed that you will not renew 'The 9 Lives of Chloe King'. Who makes such decisions? You talk about how may viewers are watching. I have never been called about any TV program. How does one get to be a 'polled person'?
This weekly show was excellent. Great acting and story line. Pretty LIttle Liars has never appealed to me and will not watch it this year either.
Stupid and sort sited move, ABC. I really hope you reconsider. Although a big TV network like yourself rarely listens to the 'watching public' so my hope will likely not come to fruition.

The performance by Jennifer Lopez on AMA Awards was disgusting. Should have been performed in a strip club not prime time. As close to porn as you can get.

Just a reminder that I will turn the channel and notify all of your sponsors every time you put Jose Baez in my face. My stomach turns every time I see his face. He is an inexperienced lawyer who is currently under investigation. How dare you insult your viewers by calling him a "legal expert". Disgusted

How pathetic of you to highlight an attorney who is in trouble with the bar, barely got a law license, and who lies like crazy to a jury and ruined lives is the process.
Jose Baez is no hero, could you not find a decent reputable attorney or anyone worthy to appear on your show, you have really hit the bottom.

You should not have taken "All My Children" off the air. Not only did I watch it but so did all of My Clients.Everything stopped so that 30 Clients and I could watch Monday - Friday. Bring it back. Thanks, Nancy

I don't watch ABC, haven't for a long time. Found this webpage, cause was looking for contact info for ESPN. Read comments: AGREE WHOLEHEARTED with all ON AMERICAN FLAG PINS !
This is my message to ABC & George Bodenheimer
@ ESPN:
To Whom it May Concern :

Ouote : Per: ESPN NEWS RELEASE !
“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”

This goes to show you, YOU'LL are just like all the media ! You just re-afirmed my decision to stop watching your station when you took over the football & all games..... This is way beyond censorship by ESPN, This man was giving his opinion ! And didn't hurt ESPN in anyway. And I'm not a fan of Hank Williams Jr. Either.

Totally ridiculous, So much for freedom of speech. ESPN needs to shut up some of their Announcers, Owners & Players.

Learned of your disgusting and un-american directive to your employees to not wear lapel pins with AMERICAN FLAGS. How can you possibly call yourself THE AMERICANBROADCASTING COMPANY? You are a discrace to the AMERICA I KNOW AND LOVE AND YOU trample the blood shed by millions of veterans who have bled and died for this country, who died for you and I, for the freedoms we enjoy. For the United States Of America Flag we fly so high to pay respect to them who have fallen keeping it for us. You are a discrace to America . WE WILL NO LONGER BE WATCHING ABC BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISION. NOR WILL WE BE PAYING ANY MONEYS TO YOUR ADVERTISORS. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. BUT ABC CAN GO TO THE DEVIL!
